No Anime No Life: Attack on bitches (KanColle ep. 05)

Published by Halfey Halphstein, February 22nd, 2015

I don't know what the writer was smoking when he made this episode but one thing for sure is it tainted Kaga's polite and refined image. It all started when the Admiral issued an order to restructure the fleet (probably following the demise of Kisaragi) and Fubuki, Kongou, the yuri pair (Kitakami & Ooi), Carrier group 1 (Kaga) and Carrier group 5 (Zuikaku). We already know Ooi is a huge problem, but then Kaga also appeared to have a problem to be grouped together with the ships she looked down upon, of which in this case it specifically refers to Carrier group 5. It probably started as a rivalry between the 2 groups that eventually sees the Group 1 managed to show them performs better than the Group 5. Even so it is unacceptable to not wanting to be in the same fleet as the 'lesser' ships just because you've proven yourself being the better one. That's just arrogant.

Poi-chan does not approve of this episode.

I've always regarded Kaga having the closest (lower) spot to Mami-san in my heart because I have always thought she is a loving, caring and 'motherly' waifu candidate. I had almost call her with the honorific -san like I do with Mami-san as to show my respect but now I feel reluctant thanks to this episode. Before this I always thought to myself had I don't have Mami-san being on the top spot in my heart Kaga might have filled that place instead.

Good thing Poi-chan was in this episode so that calmed be down a bit.

I was so furious with the way they made Kaga so selfish. I already hate one bitch in this show (Ooi, I hate her with passion to the point that I hope she get sunk soon) and now they want to add one more to that bitch list? Yes, I was so angry I didn't even try to take screenshot as I usually did. They also didn't even show ZKMS in this episode!

In the end they made Fubuki the flagship of the fleet after each of them tried to prove that they fit to carry the title but failed. Fubuki was the only one who were successful in actually acting the role, not even Kaga could. I guess this anime version of Kaga (the arrogant version) can only do things when Akagi is besides her.
